L.O.W.A. Recognizes Excellence in Outdoor Communications

Eleven Louisiana Outdoor Writers Association (LOWA) members were recognized for their contributions during LOWA?s 65th annual conference Aug. 6-7 in Covington. The honorees were selected for awards in the organization?s 2010 Excellence in Craft (EIC) competition.

The EIC contest, which recognizes excellence under eight categories of outdoor-related communication, has been held continuously since 1945. To ensure objectivity, all entries were judged through an external and anonymous review process involving Southeastern Outdoor Press Association members.
LOWA has both active and supporting members. Active membership is qualified by productivity in outdoor communication. Active membership includes newspaper and magazine writers, editors, columnists, photographers, radio and television broadcast journalists, wildlife artists, internet journalists, book authors, videographers, lecturers, and public relations specialists.
The winners and sponsors of the 2010 EIC contest are listed below. For more detailed information about the competition or LOWA, visit www.laoutdoorwriters.com
